I thought YOU lowered the gear!

There's a lot more to this story but I'll defer to those who know more about the situation than I do before I spread false info.

Isn't there already a 20 page thread about this?

At least the gear handle was down, gear doors were open.

" Mark Faithful, a Massport wildlife technician, alerted airport staff shortly before 8:30 a.m. about the sparks he saw on the plane’s first approach, Freni said.

The pilot initially had seen three lights on the Embraer 135’s control panel, indicating the landing gear was down and locked, said Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board. When the plane touched down, its belly and flaps (parts that let the plane land at a slower speed) were damaged, Knudson said. So the pilot aborted the landing, he said, and lowered the gear with a hand crank that can be used if the plane’s hydraulic system fails. "
